Keita’s review article has been published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism.
It provides an overview of how skeletal stem cells—key players in bone development and regeneration—may contribute to osteosarcoma and bone metastasis.
Congratulations, Keita!

Nagasaki University School of Dentistry Student Research Presentation Meeting for the Dental Research Course 2025 was held, and two fourth-year students, Ren Takashima and Nayu Saito, gave presentations. Both delivered excellent presentations.
"The contribution of bone marrow macrophage to bone regeneration（Ren）"
"The contribution of bone marrow vessels to bone regeneration（Nayu）"
A paper by Sixun, titled “Early determination of the dorsal-ventral axis in endochondral ossification in mice” has been published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.
This study reveals an important mechanism involved in skeletal development and growth, in particular identifying the cellular origin of the population responsible for forming the dorsal (back) side of the limb skeleton. This paper will serve as Sixun's doctoral thesis. Congratulations!
